Install Pre-Requisites

Now that we have the software downloaded we need to install a few pre-requisites before installation. Type the following command below to install the required modules:

sudo yum -y install perl-Net-SSLeay

Note: It *is* case sensitive!

Installation

Now it is time to install the Webmin package. To do so, use the command below:

sudo yum install webmin

Once the installation has completed you should get the following message:

Webmin install complete. You can now login to https://server:10000/
as root with your root password.

Modify the firewall

If you try to go there now, however, you won't be able to reach it, since your firewall is blocking the connection to port 10000. To fix this, edit the iptables file:

sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/iptables

After your port 22 line, add the following:

-I INPUT -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

Save the file, then reload iptables.

sudo service iptables restart

Great!

Logging In

You are now ready to log into your Webmin console. To do this point your web browser to https://12.34.56.78:10000/ where you will be prompted with a login screen (be sure to change 12.34.56.78 to your server's IP). On your first login use the username root and type in your root password.
